How-to-guides are a great way to share insight and knowledge across your audience.

These guides are informative and teach your reader how to complete a given task using step-by-step instructions.

The more value and answers you bring to your reader, the more they are likely to return to your site and, eventually, turn into a customer. Here a few things to remember when writing your "how-to-guide:"

Identify the logical order of your instructions and use numbered lists
Use headings and bold to identify key stages in your step-by-step guide

List content is great for driving traffic to your blog, and they are often quick to create.
